Why deny it? When the CC went to Boston, he went crazy over the local oysters.
The CC openly admits his biases - he loves briny and minerally ones which means East Coast. The West Coast ones lack character (relatively speaking.)
Only relatively local oysters were consumed, and the CC's favorite were the ones from Onset and Island Creek (both in Massachussetts.)
Briny slurpy goodness!

Foraging in Chinatown Markets
On a recent trip to Boston, the CC had a little time to kill in Chinatown. Needless to say, he went into the stores looking for interesting stuff.
Among the haul were dried rose buds, lily mushrooms and hedgehog mushrooms (along with shrimp crackers and crab crackers!)
You may have read the saga of the CC and the roses before.
The mushrooms are new. The CC had never heard of them. Clearly, they must be tried out. So they were bought, and the package enjoyed a free trip to Boston because there was no way in hell that the CC wasn't going to purchase everything right that minute.
It has been commented upon that the Chinatown markets act upon the CC a bit analogously to introducing a Snickers bar at a Fat Camp!
